A long-term evaluation of applicability of a TU5300sc turbidimeter equipped with Automated Cleaning Module (ACM) for raw water monitoring was conducted at a surface water treatment plant in Colorado. The plant alternates between two water sources—reservoir and river water—with each source presenting different challenges. The reservoir water usually has a lower turbidity (approximately 1 to 2 ntu), but undergoes seasonal inversion with rising manganese levels, which may cause the river water turbidity to vary wildly during summertime, when this source is used primarily.
